I've never played M1, but only the M2 and Infinity demos. The idea of music in the bkgnd sorta makes me think of Doom (which I beat). You know where the theme music is all a bunch of MIDI crap, but still 16-bit sound at all is better than what my computer can't produce. **sigh** LC 475, almost the same as mine being a Performa 630 series. At least I have the best processor of it's kind-- without an FPU. An 68LC040, which is meant for 66MHz, but not overclocked, so it's the same f***in' speed of the bus, 33MHz. I always use 16-bit color -- which again is the limit to the old Mac.
I also had 4MB of RAM with the Connetix extension. I still remember one time, where the computer slowed down to the point where I could see every pixel being drawn one-at-a-time because..... RAM Doubler sucks! Another time, when using AOL, after installing an additional 16MB without taking the INIT out of the system folder, it just shutdown (power: off) without warning. I guess it's because since the limit of the computer is 36MB, 20MB * 2 is over. I now use virtual memory, which seems to be better than the extension which I got rid of completely.
Anyway, M1 or M2/MInf... Marathon seems to be the fastest game (at low-res) that has a high 3D-quality to it. Another thanks to Bungie for coming up with the engine in the first place.
Ah... who cares.
